Back at School: Joshua´s Story

A normal boy who was doing well at school, Joshua suddenly started having seizure-like attacks on a daily basis. He was eventually unable to attend school and his condition began having a detrimental effect on the whole family. Desperately worried after being told by a psychologist that nothing could be done and that their son would simply grow out of his condition, Joshua’s parents decided to seek a second opinion from Best Doctors. The Best Doctors expert who reviewed Joshua´s case confirmed that the attacks were indeed psychiatric-related. His report provided not only specific treatment recommendations but peace of mind from confirmation of diagnosis. Moreover, it reduced the number of attacks. Joshua used to experience three or four attacks a day and now has four weeks between episodes. He is back at school, and the entire family is now feeling much less stressed, stronger, and very relieved.

The Best Doctors response gave us just what we needed: an expert medical report that we could use with our doctor and a detailed explanation of both our son’s condition and treatment options in terms that we could understand."
